Outside the window, at the gate of Kaiyuan Restaurant, seven or eight guys in strange clothes passed by.
It is said that the clothes are fancy, but that is only for the people of Victoria.
"What are you looking at?" Zhong Xiaoyan noticed Lin Ji's strangeness, looked down along his gaze, and then saw a group of people wearing pointed hats and loose gowns walking away quickly.
Lin Ji did not speak, but watched the group of people go away, and then looked away with a frown.
"It's strange, why do people from the Editorial Department appear in Yucheng?" Lin Ji murmured.
Hearing Lin Ji's words, Zhong Xiaoyan was surprised and said, "Are those the agents from the Editorial Department?"
"Yes, those who work in the Editorial Department all wear pointed hats, as if to show their identity, just like the token of the Supervisory Department."
After saying that, Lin Ji sneered again: "I don't know what their shameless identities have to show."
"What the hell... Bah!" Zhong Xiaoyan didn't understand at first, but after she realized what she was saying, she suddenly let out a soft sigh.
Lin Ji didn't care about Zhong Xiaoyan's anger and turned to look at Feng Zhiruo.
"Miss Feng, do you have any clue about this matter?"
"Me? I've never dealt with anyone from the Editorial Department. This is the first time I've met them, so naturally I don't have a clue." Feng Zhiruo shook his head slightly.
Lin Ji didn't think Feng Zhiruo had told lies.
Looking at Feng Zhiruo using the Six Paths of Buddhism, one can see that she is at peace in her heart.
But Lin Ji always felt that even if Feng Zhiruo didn't know about it, it might have something to do with her.
"Not long after the plan of the Palace of Eternal Life in Weizhou failed, the eunuch from the editorial department who only worked in Jingzhou appeared in Yucheng uncharacteristically... When things go wrong, there must be a monster, Miss Feng, what do you think?"
Lin Ji looked at Feng Zhiruo with a half-smile.
But at this time, Feng Zhiruo couldn't laugh anymore.
"You mean, they are coming for me? But Jishi is the Great Qin court... Oh, I am stupid."
Feng Zhiruo was originally surprised. If he really came here because of her affairs, he should be from the Supervisory Department, so why would it be the turn of the Editorial Department to take charge of it.
But then she reacted.
If someone from the Supervisory Tiansi comes, they will probably be dealt with according to Great Qin's method.
And the position of the Editorial Department, who arrived unexpectedly, may be on the side of the Palace of Eternal Life.
Seeing that Feng Zhiruo was lost in thought, Lin Ji did not rush him, but sighed softly: "Hey, I handed over the news about the Eternal Life Palace and the Nine Infants long ago! Not only has there been no result for such a long time, but I didn’t even get a reply.”
Lin Ji got up and walked downstairs, ready to go back to the government office.
Zhong Xiaoyan and Feng Zhiruo quickly followed.
"Is there something wrong with Beijing?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked.
Lin Ji responded without looking back: "There is no need to say whether it is possible or not. Something big must have happened in Beijing, and someone with good intentions has blocked the news."
As he spoke, Lin Ji's expression slowly relaxed. In just a moment, the negligible gloominess dissipated.
His tone was a little lighter.
"Outside my study, among the spiritual pigeons that chirp on the treetops all day long, there are a few particularly fat ones. Those little guys are running with all their strength. Even I am ashamed."
It's not that Lin Ji can't catch up with those spirit pigeons, but that those spirit pigeons can fly all the way to Jingzhou without resting.
Lin Ji smiled at Zhong Xiaoyan.
"That is the spirit pigeon that serves to communicate with the officials of the three-level towns in various places and the capital. No matter how much the delay is, my message will be sent to the capital, and the results will come back within three to five days at most."
Having said this, Lin Ji looked at Feng Zhiruo.
"After I asked you about Zhou Li and Jiu Ying that day, I handed over the news, but there has been no reply to this day."
"Any matter involving the earth's veins, Supervisor Tiansi will never sit idly by and watch... This is a major matter related to the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. As long as he knows about it, he will definitely solve it with thunderous means."
Feng Zhiruo shook his head slightly.
"But it's been so long, and no one from Supervisor Tiansi has come, not even any news."
The smile on Lin Ji's face gradually faded.
"It's not just news about this matter. In the past, news from all over Kyushu would be collected every month. Now this matter has also been delayed."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived outside the government office.
Just as he was about to go in, the government servant at the door stopped Lin Ji.
"Sir, some adults from the capital came just now. They said they were from the Affairs Department." The Yamen servant said in a low voice.
Lin Ji was not surprised by this.
The Editorial Department has no foundation in Weizhou. If it wants to do something, it is natural to find the Supervisor Tiansi.
After casually tipping the government officer a few taels of silver, Lin Ji went straight to the meeting hall instead of going to his study.
Only when he was halfway there, Feng Zhiruo suddenly said: "If it is as previously guessed, the people from the Editorial Department are here for me, then do I need to avoid them?"
"No need, the news about you in the government office cannot be hidden, so why bother."
Hearing this, Feng Zhiruo nodded slightly and followed Lin Ji silently.
Zhong Xiaoyan said: "If you want to talk about business, I won't get involved."
Lin Ji was a little surprised.
"Don't you like to watch the fun the most?"
Zhong Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "If you have that time, it's better to practice."
After saying that, Zhong Xiaoyan walked towards the backyard.
Lin Ji didn't say much. He knew what Zhong Xiaoyan was thinking, but he didn't have a good solution for it.
After watching Zhong Xiaoyan leave, he and Feng Zhiruo came to the government office's meeting hall.
When Lin Ji and his two men arrived, there was already sitting at the main seat of the meeting hall a messenger from the editorial department wearing a red robe and a red pointed hat.
The man was holding a tea cup in his hand. After seeing Lin Ji appear, his eyes first fell on Feng Zhiruo behind Lin Ji.
But that was only a fleeting moment, as if he was looking at it inadvertently.
"Master Lin is the official of Weizhou Town, but he is not sitting in the government office. He still has the thought to take the beauty out for leisurely leisurely... It's so elegant."
Lin Ji shook his head noncommittally. He didn't care that the other party was sitting on the main seat and took his own seat.
"The red hat of the Editorial Department is one of the twelve earthly branches? Is that your Excellency?"
"Zi Shu."
"The head of the Earthly Branches...I guess he is also the right-hand man of Eunuch Lan."
"I don't dare take it seriously. I'm just sharing my master's worries." Zishu said casually and modestly.
Hearing Zi Shu's answer, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes with a smile.
He shrugged his shoulders for a moment, and finally couldn't help laughing.
Zishu frowned and said, "Master Lin, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm sorry, Lin couldn't bear it after meeting you eunuchs who have been slaves for a long time." Lin Ji apologized with his hands and said with a smile, "We are all out to do things, and we are not in the palace, and we still talk about the same master. ..A slave is a slave.”
"Be bold!"
ever!
A flash of sword light flashed, followed by an editor's officer behind Zi Shu who roared angrily, drew his sword and struck.
But at the moment when the sword light was about to fall, a whip suddenly appeared, wrapping around the edge of the sword and protecting Lin Ji, who was still motionless.
The other end of the whip was held in Zi Shu's hand, but at this moment, the head of the twelve earthly branches of the editorial department, who had always given Lin Ji power, looked a little ugly.
His subordinates dared to take action against the officials of the third-grade town.
The following commits the crime of going up and reverses Tiangang.
The rules are broken!
